Projected Cuts
More running backs could see themselves released by the Steelers later this week, with Alvester Alexander a likely candidate. Tight ends will also get whittled down, while the Steelers may find themselves with a difficult decision at wide receiver, with both Derek Moye and Reggie Dunn showing promise during the preseason.
On defense, we should expect a reduction of inside linebackers and cornerbacks. It's interesting to see how Hebron Fangupo's position as the team's No. 2 nose tackle affects the future of 2012 draft pick Alameda Ta'Amu.
